11 years ago, I couldn’t have imagined being invited to share our mission on a stage like that, in the place I now call home. 🇨🇦🙏 Growth and giving back belong in the same business plan. That was one of the messages I shared with more than 200 members of the Richardson Wealth. 1/2

I was asked many times on panels why I love Canada. I could give a million reasons. We have a strong and functioning democracy, and compared to the international average, Canada is safer, cleaner, more tolerant and with universal healthcare. What’s not to love? 🇨🇦❤️ #ProudCanadian

I recently heard a line while watching an episode of Murdoch Mysteries that I loved. Detective Murdoch says: “Canada is the world's second largest country but its citizens are second to none.” I couldn't agree more. 🇨🇦🙏

I always tell our teams that we are in the business of people. We are in the business making people aware of our mission no matter who they are or where they come from. I had the privilege of keynoting the annual conference of CCRA. Thank you for the opportunity to share some lessons.

You rarely find a public servant and a champion for reconciliation like Mary Simon. You rarely find a trailblazer like Mary Simon. She represented something really beautiful about Canada as the first Indigenous Governor General and she did it with such grace!

10 years ago, my family came to 🇨🇦 as refugees. Today, we cut the ribbon of our @peacebychocolate.bsky.social boutique at Halifax International Airport and our joy is indescribable. Canada is a country that is bigger-hearted than words could ever say. Today, we are proud to give back. 🇨🇦✈️

Friends, 10 years ago, the people of Nova Scotia 🇨🇦 opened their arms and hearts to our family. Today, our signature Peace by Chocolate boutique has finally opened its doors at the heart of Halifax Stanfield International Airport, right where our family touched down when we just called NS home. ❤️🙏✈️

Spring has definitely not sprung in Nova Scotia. A great neighbour said to me once: in the winters of life it can be near impossible to have patience for the better days ahead but Canadians always do. Patience is one of the highlights of a true 🇨🇦 experience. The greens & blues will be here soon.

Meet Baby Mayar Hadhad. This tiny, adorable “peace” of cuteness was born in the early hours of Feb 7. Mila is healthy and feeling well. She is absolutely my hero. We named him Mayar, which means the moon’s glow — because that night, the moon shone brighter than it had in a very long time. 🌙🤍🙏

10 years ago today, I landed in Canada after losing everything to the war in Syria, and the dream came true! So thankful. I landed in Canada as a Syrian refugee, and ten years later, I am a proud Canadian. A husband. A father-to-be. A CEO and a founder. A storyteller. Forever grateful! 🇨🇦❤️

On my way to Europe to build more trade with the EU. The Canadian brand 🇨🇦 is as strong as ever and the world is ready for us. Canada is thinking globally and building for the future regardless of the short term disruptions with the US.

An act of kindness can change a heart. A changed heart can change the world. Our CEO @tareqhadhad.bsky.social believes that every conversation and every shared moment matters, and he delivered his ADRP keynote address on this. Our hope to leave the world a little better than we found it. ☮️🇨🇦

The courage to listen is just as important as the courage to speak. Thank you to the Institute of Law Clerks of Ontario for this opportunity - it was an honour to share a keynote speech on building a cause, to a room full of people who work so hard to uphold justice & compassion in our legal system.

There is hope for peace. I have witnessed it. I have experienced it. And I think it can be reached, one generation at a time, one small act of kindness at a time, one tale, one act of compassion at a time.
